Beaver is the master builder of the animal kingdom. She delights in the power of working and knows that building things of value require teamwork. Instinctively, she trusts the wisdom of group mind, knowing that she does not need to be good at everything in order to be successful.

Beaver knows what she is good at – gathering sticks, for example – and in turn, she honors and acknowledges other Beavers, who are great at digging mud. Together, Beavers work to build their homes, using the strengths and talents of each group member to get the job done.

Beaver is mindful not to dam the flow of experience in his life. He builds dams with many entrances and exits, to keep him flexible, responsive, and without limitation.

Beavers change the habitat around them. Their strong teeth fell tall trees and they redirect the flow of the streams where they build their dams. Beavers have influence – on their ecosystem, on other creatures around them, and in the world at large. They are fierce protectors of their creations, which they have put their love and energy into, bigtime.

Together, Beavers create faster, go further, and build together.

BeaverCon is a gathering of coaches, healers, consultants, and business owners

who see their business as a path to personal growth

— and who value truth over sales gimmicks,

quality over the rush of selling something ‘for cheap’,

relationships over transactions,

and real transformation more than the quick fix.

We gather to build businesses that are in alignment with Who We Are. We gather to ‘talk shop’ and create a vision for the future and what’s next for us. We gather to build connections and relationships with other beavers. We gather to envision and usher in a different way to build sustainable, profitable businesses that are of deep service to the world and keep us on our ‘growing edge’.

And this requires a different sort of conversation, community, and support than what’s common in the marketplace. This “New Way” of Doing and Being in Business (the Beaver Way, if you will) is unfolding before our very eyes — and we’re creating all this goodness, together.

Travel details.

Flying in?

The best airport to fly into is Detroit Wayne County (DTW), also known as “Detroit Metro”. Ann Arbor is about a 20-30 minute ride away.

You can just hail a cab when you exit the airport; the Blue Cab Company ((734) 213-2222) claims to charge $26 one-way. A (non-Blue-Cab) cab could average $30-$40 (the latter bit of info comes from personal experience…). Another option is Commuter Express, a shuttle company that provides cheaper transport from the airport.

Coming by Car?

Coming on I-94: Take the State Rd. (= State St.) exit, and go north on State St. all the way into the center of Ann Arbor. S. University will be the first street (on your right) as you approach campus. After that, there is E. William (on your left), and then N. University on your right (the street where the Michigan League is). If you go one more block on State St. and make a left on E. Liberty St., you will find parking structures.

How about the Train?

There is an Amtrak station in Ann Arbor! And trains are fun! Click here for more information.

Where Should You Stay?

Stay where you like — but might we suggest using Airbnb.com? Many of our past attendees had great experiences renting and sharing home rather than staying in hotels.
